Cracroft Island (Canada), BC · Canada
Yesterday morning, I observed several objects over Cracroft Island, BC, via live feed camera. I was able to watch as the clouds floated around all of the objects, indicating to me that these were stationary. Because of this I was able to count between five and seven objects. Their appearance was that of a solid cross or star shape. The colors ranged from a very pale yellow/white, to a bright dandelion yellow. These colors seemed to radiate like an aura rather than a beam or flash of light. They were constant. The objects also seemed to be roughly all the same size. This occurence lasted around 15 min before the clouds fully obstructed the view. As I said before these were solid objects, the clouds surrounded them. To me this shows they were not planets or anything that would be that far away. But that they were UFOs. Hovering over us watching from the clouds.

At approximately 20:00 on October 30, 2016, I was taking my dogs out in my yard for a bathroom break. It was a crisp, clear, starry night and as I am a nightly sky watcher, I turned my eyes upwards. I play little games with myself while I sky gaze such as finding and greeting constellations, planets and stars that I know and finding clusters of stars which may appear very faint (I live inside the city so there is light pollution) with my naked eye. It was this exact thing that drew my attention to what I saw next. As I was scanning the skies and engaging in my usual entertainment, I noticed above me a very faint, small cluster of what I thought at first were stars, but as I continued to look at them, I was confused to see them moving slowly in a straight line approximately North to South above me. My thought in that moment was, "Why are those stars moving?" and I actually did a kind of double-take because I thought my eyes were mistaking the movement. They were not. The object appeared like a very far away, faint, moving cluster of tiny white stars (no idea how many but a fair amount) and the only reason I could discern it's shape was not from any outline against the sky, but from the shape of this "star cluster" itself. It moved slowly (a little slower than an average plane) and was soundless. I cannot even begin to estimate either its distance or size but I had the very real impression it was both VERY LARGE and VERY FAR AWAY. The size dwarfed that of any planes that I see over my yard. There was also no discernable sound I could associate with it and it appeared silent to my ears. I watched it move Southward until my line of sight became obscured by the trees at my back fence, but I was able to keep my eyes on it for what seemed like quite awhile (mere seconds, but I was pretty focused on it and it seemed much longer). My dogs noticed nothing. Then I ran into the house super excited to tell my husband what I had seen and make a social media post about my excitement! I have seen many unexplained objects in the skies over the years that could not be explained away or mistaken for anything identifiable, but this was far different even than any of those!

Edmonton (Canada), AB · Canada
Drone video recorded in Parkland County at Hasse Lake in Alberta, Canada I was recording some video footage of top of trees trying to capture the fall colors, and I did just that. Later on while showing a friend of mine the video from my drone I have noticed objects in my film that were unusual, I loaded the video into video editing software and went frame by frame and to my surprise I have seen spheres of light ? going extremely fast below my drone, then one came with in feet of the drone passing it at very high speed. The original videos are uploaded into drop box account, the initial video that I released is located on youtube under the link below. https://youtu.be/D_CZghp1c9k I am extremely interested to figure out what did my camera actually recorded. We have viewed the video, and seriously doubt that the objects, which are very difficult to discern, are UFOs. They are very small, it appears, and we wonder whether they might be insects or seed pods, flying past the object lens of the video camera. PD

My daughter called me out to the back porch, looking straight out there was a red light with flashing rays, almost, quite large, but as it got closer the sized seemed to reduce. It seemed sit in the alley just behind our back fence, then moved in behind the trees. We could move around to see it again, but then it disappeared.

Prince Rupert (Canada), BC · Canada
Too far out to know for sure but I was walking down the road in my small town, we always see activity in the sky here I even have some on my instagram. But this really caught my attention. A star just under the big dipper that I don't remember being there caught my eye as it was flashing orange and dark red. I stopped to watch it and noticed another white star that would usually be thought as a satellite go from (not good with my bearings) what would be the handle of the big dipper toward the spoon end but underneath the huge red flashing thing. Then just as soon as it was there it all disappeared :( So much for that.. Wish I could watch the sky more.

Strathmore area, AB · Canada
Driving to Eastbound to Strathmore on the AB #1 HWY my aunt and her daughter witnessed 2 very large square almost helicopter style aircrafts. They had 4 propellers and at first she said she only noticed one on the left when she saw on her right side 3 vehicles pulled over taking photos of a secomd ufo. There were white lights on them and they were quite loud but had a distinct wing-beat style sound like a slowed recording of a humming bird she said.

Ottawa (Canada), ON · Canada
Thursday, October 6, 1:07 AM, Ottawa, Canada. I got up to look out my bedroom window. I have logged two UFO sightings on previous occasions within the last couple of years from this same bedroom window but did not keep any records, myself. I have reported one to MUFON and another to National UFO Reporting Center. I have seen about four other sightings over the years directly over the city of Ottawa and Gatineau. I sometimes look out the bedroom window to check for UFO's especially at sundown and during the night. There is usually one red air-ambulance helicopter go close by once or twice a day with pulsating red and white lights with characteristic sound. One of the previous UFO sightings was of a very large white light and with a definite round-shaped red light of same size in its center which looked something like a spot light from a short distance away vantage point. This was about 2-3 miles away. The reason I am saying this is that these UFO's could be trying to imitate helicopter lights! Anyway, I looked out my bedroom window and the Western sky was misty. There was one large star to be seen, probably Mars or Venus at about 30 degrees. I looked out of the corner of my eye, as I sometimes do, to see if there were any fainter stars near-by. I thought I saw a couple and one of them was red. They were very small and faint, and much smaller than the first star seen. As I kept looking, the red one seemed to get bigger. Then, I detected it to be moving West to North. It came to be within about 5-10 miles, I think, no sound, window open. The red light kept flashing at about once a second as it moved across the sky. It was fluttering up and down and would lunge forward at tremendous speed every 3-4 seconds. It came as close as to within 3-5 miles, I think, before going out of view because of the window frame. It was going way too fast to be a helicopter at that distance.

Regina (Canada), SK · Canada
Husband and I were on highway 48 between Davin and White City near Regina. Spotted a bright light in the sky. As we drew closer we realised the light was hovering. The object was disk shaped (the light dimmed and we could see the body of the object more clearly). It kept pace with the car for a minute or so. Then as we watched it got smaller and smaller, as if moving upwards, and then disappeared.

Winnipeg (Canada), MB · Canada
On the morning of October 2, 2016, at just before 1:30 AM, I wandered over to the open shipping door at my workplace to grab a bit of fresh air. I was looking outside when an orange light caught my attention. The light was to the southeast of where I was standing. I assumed it was an aircraft coming in to land at the airport—this is something that I see at night all the time as my workplace is just to the east of the airport. The light was about the same size and color as the incandescent street lamps that were across the street, maybe 100 feet away. As the light approached I became very curious. When normal aircraft do their approaches you often start out seeing just the bright white 'headlight' but you eventually see the red and green lights on the wings and tail. This object did not display any other lights. The light continued heading directly towards me, flying on a northwest course. As it was going to pass directly over the building I went outside into the parking lot so I could continue observing it. The light passed directly over me at what I assumed was the normal altitude for landing aircraft. I did not see any other lights—just the orange light. I did not see the shape of an aircraft which is very strange to me as at that altitude I would have seen at least the outline of a conventional aircraft, even at night. There was no sound. The light did not change shape or luminosity. It moved at roughly the same speed as a normal aircraft. There was a light breeze at the time but I don't recall the direction. As the light passed overhead I saw what looked to me like a 'shock-wave' in front of the light. This was the only time I saw anything other than the light itself. The light continued on its northwest course, moving past the roof-line of the building. I backed up in the parking lot to try to regain sight of it but failed to do so. The total time spent observing the light was 1-2 minutes. I do not know what to think of this light. I have worked nights at this location for over 5 years and have never seen anything like this. I see normal aircraft in the sky at night all the time, several times a night. This thing did not look like a normal aircraft. I suppose it could have been a meteor but I feel it was moving too slowly for that. I feel it was moving too precisely to be a balloon, flare or firework, and the light was too consistent and bright for that, unless I drastically overestimated its altitude. I have a feeling that this is just a conventional phenomenon but it was weird enough to me and something I've certainly never seen before so I felt I should report it.

Toronto (Canada), ON · Canada
On Saturday September 24 I attended the Blue Jays-Yankees baseball game with a friend in Toronto. We looked up at the sky through the dome opening at about 5:55 p.m. and saw a white, fuzzy, slow- moving craft about three to four times as high as the Goodyear Blimp which was overhead for a lot of the game. The blurry white craft reappeared about eight minutes later with five tiny red lights appearing in tow. The tiny red lights seemed to flicker in and out of view quickly before all the lights disappeared. My friend suggested parachutists but I’m not so sure, given the altitude of the lights and that no parachutists came into view. Any word on what it might have been?

Nanaimo (Canada), BC · Canada
So, I am recalling all of this almost a year later, but there were quite a few witnesses there with me that night and I think it would be interesting to compare our experiences. I was living in south Nanaimo with 3 of my friends as roommates, and we were housing a couple friends who had been traveling. Our house had a deck on the second floor with a great view of mount benson from south nanaimo. We were all hanging out on the deck as it got dark we noticed a bright light like you would see on a plane stationary in the sky above Mount Benson. This light was very bright and it was hovering in the sky at about the level smaller planes fly at. We took a look at the object through a pair of binoculars and although it was hard to keep steady I could make out yellow red and blue lights along the outer edge of a disc shaped object that looked as though it was spinning. I could see the different colored lights rotating around the edge of the object. Beneath it looked li! ke glowing blue tentacles resembling a jellyfish's. All my friends looked at the object through the binoculars and saw the strange spinning disc. The object stayed in the sky for the next few hours as we lost interest. About 3 hours after we first noticed the UFO my friend and I were sitting outside again and I was drawn to look at the object again. Just then, I saw a huge bolt of lightning shoot up FROM THE MOUNTAIN towards the UFO. The lightning bolt stopped a few stories below the object, and I alerted my friend, asking if she had seen it, and in the next moment a huge flash of light in the sky above the UFO. My friend saw the second flash of light and we watched for awhile, after that, but there were no further flashes. The sky was clear with no clouds. There was no sound coming from the object. It continued to hover in the same spot for a couple weeks, with no movement or further flashes of light. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Niagara Falls (Canada), ON · Canada
I had been hiking the Niagara gorge trail, and upon my return, I paused for a drink of water. When I looked up at the moon, I noticed 7 lights in formation (some white lights, some were red lights). They were travelling from the west to the east. Sometimes the white ones would get brighter and then disappear altogether. The red balls of light were the most fascinating. I'm 44 yrs. old and I've never seen any lights like this before. Witness provides no contact information. PD

I was shooting the cloud of sunset by using my iPhone and iPad, finally I found it in my images. And it is pretty clear, bright,, yellow and round. My coworker was using the image software to analyze my pictures and make sure it was not a reflect, it was a real flight with a round shape. It only show in first few pics, like 3-5 second , then gone.

I witnessed a round/sphere shaped object flying in the daytime sky at a significant altitude. I took video on my cellphone and after careful examination, it certainly looks like some type of unidentified flying object. Witness corrected date to September 20, 2016. We have corrected the date above to reflect the correct date. PD

Ingersoll (Canada), ON · Canada
I was at a local park to do some wind sprints for fitness training. I had arrived at the park around 20:00hrs and had just begun the workout, doing one sprint, and then while doing the recovery walk back to the starting point, I looked up into the night sky and saw a formation of three objects. I was facing north, and the objects, numbering three, were flying low, in formation, going from west to east. These objects were whitish, luminous, but not overly bright. In fact, if I had not been looking up, it is possible that I may not have noticed them. The objects were orbish in shape, luminous yet translucent, having a spectral aspect to them, and although the sighting was brief, it caused me to be very alarmed. The lights did not resemble airplane lights, but had a spectral, unnatural appearance to them. Alarmed, I walked quickly back to my vehicle and exited the park, as I felt threatened. They were low and, having read accounts of abduction by ufos, I did no! t wish to be added to the list of abductees. I was alone in the park, it was very dark, and I felt vulnerable upon seeing these objects. Also, there was no sound emitted by the objects as they flew overhead. This encounter left me shaken and anxious. Early the following morning, before dawn, many dogs in the neighborhood were uncharacteristically barking together. I was still jittery the following day, and had a very bad night's sleep after this encounter. Although I cannot recall the exact date or time, approximately two or three weeks earlier, my wife and I were returning from grocery shopping one evening, heading northbound on a street in Ingersoll, when we both noticed an unusual object in the night sky. It was approximately 22:00hrs. The object was an orangish orb, and it was maintaining a steady position approximately 200 feet above a subdivision. We observed it while driving closer to its position. I said that we should go into the subdivision so as to get a better look, and when we went into the subdivision, it disappeared from view. This earlier sighting was approximately one mile north of the second sighting, several weeks later. A few days before this sighting, my oldest son was having a cigarette on the patio before leaving for work in the morning. It would have been approximately 05:00hrs. While having the smoke, he heard a humming noise in the air above him, although he was unable to see anything that may have been making the noise. He went inside to tell my wife, but when they went outside together, the humming noise had stopped. As a background, I served four years as an auxiliary police officer and as a part-time jail guard. You are welcome to contact me for any more information that you may require, but please do not publish my name. Thank you.

A bright orange light,similar to a hot air balloon flame. It was about the same size as the moon. It was moving quite quickly going from South to North approximately. I thought it was a hot air balloon, but it was moving too fast and the light was constant,not on and off like a balloon would be. I then thought maybe it was the Space Station, but it looked too close for that. I quickly got my camera and was able to get 3 pictures, before it gradually faded and then disappeared from view. Unfortunately, the images are fairly small, but they are visible.
